Gainsville,—There is on display at
the store of Hardin and Son the larg
est hen egg we have ever seen in many
a day. This egg measures exactly 7
by 8 inches, and was laid by a hen be¬
longing to Mr. C. B. Romberg here.
And Mr. Hardin is justly proud of the
fact that it was a Purena-fed hen, at
that.
Athens,— J. Davis, a Broad street
merchant, has received a letter from
his cousin, Joseph Berman (that’s the
English transilation of his name, liv¬
ing in Ekoterenoslave, Russia. This
letter required ten 1,000 ruble postage
stamps to pay its passage from the
land of the Soviets to Athens.
A reference to old records show' that
in the old days before the World War
and before Messrs. Lenin and Trbt
zky took charge of the Russian gov¬
ernment a goldruble w’as worth seventy
seven cents in good American money'.
Ten thousand of them would have been
$7,700. And it only takes one 5-eent
postage stamp to send a letter from
here to Russia.
Atlanta,—A hand-carved cane with
detachable handle easily screwed off,
revealing an ordinary cork such as is
used to stop bottles with. Pull out
the cork and you will see that a tube
holding one-half pint of whatever you
put in it fits snugly into the body of
the cane. Ttilt the cane—and turn
your head the other way, Mr. Volstead.
Can you imagine what a sale on art¬
icles of this kind would have in these
bone dry days?
An Atlanta man was sporting such
a cane. He explained however, that
his cane has no personal relations to
the present drouth, since it was given
to him in good old pre-Volstead days.
The Atlanta man, while admitting the
cane's possibilities in these days of
drouth, states that he has never used
it to convey anything except a little
camphor on occasions when he was
troubled with the headache.
Meigs,—Mr. R. E. Davis has five
thousand watermelon plants in a hot
bed that he w'ill transfer. These plants

ready to reset that he will not have
to pull the plants but instead have
the seed planted in shells. And when

the plants are ready to reset, he w'ill

WHY RAISE HOGS? THEY PAY
In looking for a money crop that
will partly take the place of cotton,
we should consider the hog very ser¬
iously.
We consume annually over 10,000
head of hogs averaging 200 pounds a
piece, that are bought out side of the
county.
We need A BROOD SOW on every
farm and we should have a hog for the
market every month in the year. A
good brood sow will raise tw r o litters
of at least eight pigs to a litter, a year.
Reasons why we should raise more
hogs.
✓
1 Raising pf hogs is the cheapest
form of live stock w r e can enter into.
2 The hog multiplies faster than any
other meat animal.
3 Hogs bring in a return quicker
and more continuously than any other
farm animal.
4 No other meat animal returns as
fertilizer to the land for the same a
niount of feed as does the hog.
5 Farmers W’ho raise their own meat
and have some to sell are as a rule
independent.
6 When you have plenty of hogs you
always have something you can turn
into ready cash. You have something
for the market the year round.
7 Run dow’n farms can he built up
quicker and cheaper with hogs than
any thing else.
Plant crops and let them do the
gathering, thus saving labor and build
your soil.
Don’t expect to receive the above
rewards unless you are going to use
pure bred stock, and raise plenty of
feed for them.
Hogs can he produced for 4 to f>
cents per pound, if we raise our feed.
Hogs are worth 8 and 9 cents on foot.
A 200 pound hog should net $8.00. Not
a big profit hut a sure one
J. K. Luck, County Agt.
A certain lawyer was asked by an
acquaintance how it was that lawyers
contrived to remain on such friendly
terms with each other, although they
were famed for cutting remarks.
The lawyer looked at him with a
twinkle in his eye. and remarked:
“Yes, but they’re like scissors; they
only cu* what comes between.”
BISHOP COMES TO THE HE
FEN8E OF THE FLAPPERS
“Bishop Thomas F. Gailor, head of
the Pilotesthnt Episcopal church of
America, is not alarmed by the flap¬
per. He says she ‘is not as bad as
she is painted.’ Women of today are
the same as they always were. They
were causing reformers to utter loud
outcries ‘when Methuselah was a boy.’
“With so much criticism being di¬
rected at modern women and girls
for bobbing their hair, smoking ci¬
garettes, painting their faces ani
wearing short skirts, it is encouraging
to have a distinguished churchman
point out that history is merely re¬
peating itself. We were about to get
the idea from hasty perusal of the news¬
papers and magazines that the flapper
was a national peril and the modern
manisfestations of the dance, not to
mention the styles, were a sympton of
decay. Far the otherwise, if we are
to believe those who are debating the
negative side of the question. Flao
perism is an indication of virility and
the hallmark of femine independence.
The reformer who yelps today had pre¬
decessors 2,000 years ago whose views
were identical with his.
“Bishop Gailor is probably right.
We are permitting ourselves to be un¬
duly perturbed by trifles. It might
hearten some of us considerably if we’d
stop to reflect that fashion, not de
pravity, makes the woman. If a ukase
were issued by arbiters of style that
skirts should hesitate just above the
ankles, bobbed hair weretabooed, flap¬
ping hopelessly out of date, and a lib¬
eral application of paint on the face,
or a cigarrette in the mouth, stamped
one as a member of the bourgeoisie,
the fair sex would be transformed over¬
night.”
The Bishop is certainly right. Girls
wear bobbed hair because they think
it is (or was) the fashion, because it'
is becoming, and because it saves
trouble—and not because they are
wicked. They also wear short skirts
because they have been fashionable,
and with the longer skirts of the spring
and fall styles we Will see the giddiest
flapper lengthing her skirts, not be¬
cause she has had a change of heart,
but because she realizes that a very
short gown makes it of last yaer’s vin¬
tage, and in the course of time—Short
let us hope—the general protest against
the way girls put on so much paint
and powder, and do it in public, will
have its effect and that also will be¬
come bad form and the girls will give
it up.
The flapper of today does the same
thing, and .the heart and soul of a
waw she speaks, and the way she acts,
girl is shown by the way she lives, the
and not by the way she dresses or
fixes her ,h^ir.—Birmingham Agk
Herald.
UPSHAW REVIEWS THE
THEATRE DISASTER
Washington,—Discussing the recent
collapse of the Knickerbocker Theatre
roof, Representative Upshaw, of GeJr
gia, whose niece was among the 98
victims declared in the house today
that a contractor, looking over the
ruins, had told him he would not
“build a roof like that over a dog house
for a dog.”
“I do not wish to be personally bit¬
ter,” said Mr. Upshaw, “I speak with
reverence now, but I must resent the
apologetic declaration of one promin¬
ent man who piously exclaimed that
nobody should be blamed because it
was the work of God. That remark
was doubtless reverent in spirit but it
is impious in doctyine. I deny the im¬
putation against the God I worship and
try to serve. God made the snow but
he never taught any contractor to
use faulty material in the construction
of a house, and God never taught any
careless builder to construct a roof
with such palpable lack of protection
that it would suddenly fall and cause
so much suffering and death.
“Let us therefore as individuals and
law makers wisely and fearlessly place
the blame of this great tradegy on sin¬
ful man and not on a sinless God, and
move with resolute wisdom to protect
thousands from such a tragedy as that
under whose unspeakable shadow we
weep today.”
SURGEON’S PENKNIFE SAVES
CHILD’S LIFE
Cincinnati, Ohio,—Surgery with a
penknife saved the life of two year old
John Washington, who was taken to
a Cincinnati hospital with a peanut
lodged in his windpipe, causing strang¬
ulation. The child had stopped breath¬
ing when Dr. O. C. Payne arrived at
the ward last night. %
Rea lifting that death would ensue
before he could send for surgical in¬
struments. Dr. Payne took his pen¬
knife, slit open the boy’s throat and
incised the'^tracheu Just below where
the peanut was lodged. This per¬
mitted the passage of air ahd the
child soon revived. Later the peanut
was removed.
The doctor explained that had he
waited until a surgical knife was ob
I tained front one of the surgical wards
jthe boy would have died.
CENTRAL LOSES FIGHT TO
TAKE OFF TRAINS
The state railroad commission on
Wednesday last week denied a petition
of the Central of Georgia railroad for
permission to discontinue twelve trains
in branch lines in Georgia. The pe
tition was filed by the railroad sev¬
eral weeks ago and evidence in the
case was submitted at the last regu¬
lar session of the commission. Sever¬
al cities on the lines affected by the
petition sent delegations to appear
before the commission- and protest
against the removal of the trains.
The Central of Georgia sought to
remove the following trains: Nos. 23
and 26, between Dover and Dublin;
Nos. 21 and 22, between Macon and
Millen; Nos. lOI^and 105, between
Atlanta and Jonesboro, and Nos. 19
and 20 between Macon and Covington.
The commision also declined to grant
the line permission to change the
schedules of trains Nos. 19 and 20 be¬
tween Macon and Eatonton and train
No. 16 between Porterdale and Macon.

WOMEN ARE TO RUN
FOR LEGISLATURE
Atlanta,—Atlanta is to have two wo¬
men candidates for the Georgia legis¬
lature in the Democratic primary this
year, if present indications materialize.
Miss Bessie Kempton, a member of
the staff of the Atlanta Constitution,
and one of the most popular members
of the journalistic profession in At
anta, is already a candidate, having
made her preliminary announcement
some weeks ago, and being now en
gaged in a quiet canvass. She is per¬
sonally very popular with a number
of the leading politicians of the county
and is thouroughly qualified by her
knowledge of public affairs to serve
in the legislature. *
The other candidate, or prospective
candidate, is Mrs. B. M. Boykin, pres¬
ident of the Atlanta Women’s Club,
a woman of exceptionally high intel¬
ligence, experience and tact in civic
and public affairs. She is being urged
by many of the club women of At¬
lanta to become a candidate.
Women in the legislature would be
the most interesting innovation in the
legislative history of Georgia, and it
seems likely that there will be several
in the general assembly of 1923-24.
NOTHING
One of the most important things in
this^country is nothing.
It may be safely said that millions
of people are thinking about it much
of the time.
Many people are doing it. Nobody
knows how many, but too many.
In some society circles it is the sole
topic of conversation.
The league of nations is doing it
every day and doing it consistently
and industriously.
You can get it to drink almost any
place in New York now.
Thousands of Americans go abroad
for it.
Fifty songs are written about it every
week.
A hundrqd farces alxiut it are pre¬
sented every season.
About one-half the magazine stories
we read are aliout it.
Every real estate agent in the coun¬
try has it to rent. If you don't be¬
lieve it, ask him.
Tanlac’s world wide fame is due to
its merits. It does the work. Sold by
City Pharmacy and all leading drug
gists.
At the annual prize day of a cer¬
tain school, the head boy rose to giye
his recitation.
“Friends, Romans, countrymen,” he
vociferated, “lend me your ears.”
“There,” commented the mother of
a defeated pupil, sneeringly, that’s Mrs.
Browns boy. He wouldn't be his mo
ther's son if he didn’t want to borrow
something.”
Unfilled j^ood intentions, like debts
become worthless with time.
HAVE YOU THESE
SYMPTOMS?
IF SO. COMMENCE TAKING G I DE’S
PKPTO MANGAN AND GET BACK

ness, had breath, pale lips, colorless
